The season of parenthood is a whirlwind of broken sleep, endless snack requests, and ever-changing routines.
It’s navigating each new phase, finding balance, and second-guessing nearly every decision.
But amidst the chaos are the micro-moments that matter most: belly laughs, curious conversations, sticky hands clutching yours, and the sweetness of sloppy open mouth kisses.
And I love capturing it ALL for you. Your family session with me is the pause button for your beautiful, busy life.
Before I had my son, Lake, I loved family photography because I appreciated great art, candid storytelling, and providing a high-end experience for Mothers.
But the moment I became a Mom, suddenly, "time moves too fast" wasn't just a catchy phrase I wrote on a website. It is my daily, physical reality.
I watch my son Lake change in the blink of an eye, SO, I understand to my absolute core what you are feeling right now.
I know the heavy lifting it takes just to get everyone fed, dressed, and out the door. I know the exhaustion of a maxed-out mental load, the scarcity of quiet hours together, and the deep, urgent longing to freeze this chapter before it slips away entirely.
When you hire me, you are getting a seasoned professional with 100+ five-star reviews, who is first and foremost, a fellow mother who understands the stakes, the emotions, and the little things that end up meaning the most.
My team and I handle every single detail of your experience—from styling to custom gallery wall design —because this is the exact level of care, relief, and support I would want for my own family.
I truly am invested in capturing your memories because I know exactly what it feels like to look at your child at 2 AM and wonder how the days are flying by so quickly.

I can't imagine anyone else capturing my family! Not only did she capture the most precious moments for my family and I, but she really felt like an old friend. It's been the best investment over and over again.

We’ve used Ren for years — starting with photos of my husband and our fur babies, and now she’s captured beautiful newborn photos for our second baby. She is responsive, professional, and has such a timeless, natural style. She was amazing with our newborn and even got our 4-year-old to smile and happily participate, which is no small task! She’s truly wonderful to work with, and we’re so grateful for the memories she’s captured for our family. Highly recommend!

I’ve been seeing Ren for years and she is truly magic. My kids are absolute chaos 99% of the time, and somehow she always turns that chaos into the most beautiful, natural photos. She’s patient, warm, and makes our whole family feel comfortable. Every gallery blows me away. I’m so grateful we found her. She captures our life exactly as it is, and somehow even better.

Studio 29 is for the time-conscious mothers who don’t want more digital clutter, who want their family beautifully photographed and displayed in their home, without having to micro-manage a single detail.
Studio 29 designs finished family artwork for parents who believe their greatest gifts in life deserve to live on their walls, not just in their phones.
I photograph families who value time with their family and understand that digital files are often just another unfinished "to-do" item.

Before I ever pick up my camera, I learn about you and your children and what matters most to you when it comes to where your photos are going to live. That sounds backward, but it's the reason the finished piece actually works in your home because we planned for your home from the start. We'll talk through the rooms, the wall, the life you've built, and then we will work together to choose the location, season, outfits, and timing.

Your only job is to show up and be with your kids. I direct everything, and I don't need your children to perform. actually, the sessions where a two-year-old has a meltdown and a four-year-old is chasing the dog are usually the ones that produce the images worth hanging. What I'm capturing is how your family actually feels, not how everyone looked when they were trying to hold it together for a camera.

You'll see your images for the first time, and she'll walk you through recommendations for you— what to print, what size, where it should live in your home — she will even mock-up designs of your exact home! You're not making decisions from a dropdown menu; someone with real design instincts helping you with everything during this virtual appointment.

Your finished prints arrive ready to hang. No assembly, no lab pickups, no trips to a frame shop. And if you add an album, it lives on your coffee table; not in a filing cabinet, not on a hard drive or “on the cloud” - - which means your kids can pull it out & look at it on a Tuesday afternoon when they're seven, and again when they're seventeen, and again when they're grown and trying to remember what it felt like to be little in your house.
